Answer 1

Answer:

means it has minimum speed of light...it is a denser medium..

Explanation:

hope it helps uu mate

Answer 2

Answer:

it means light will bend when it passes through the medium diamond

Explanation:

n = c/v n is for refractive index, c is Speed of light in vaccum, v is speed of light in the medium

the speed of light in the medium can be calculated by

v=3*10^8/2.42

=1.23 *10^8
